Non Profit Organisations

What would life be without those who cared?

Write-ups and adverts on this website for all of the non profit organisations and charities listed below are sponsored by the Durban North Accommodation Association and Adept Leisure Resources. These are all organisations that work tirelessly for the reward of knowing that they are making a difference and all are dependent on public support for their continued survival. Your spare time, spare goods and small change can go a long way. If you feel that you would like to assist in any way at all - even if you are not sure how - please contact them right now. You can make a difference too.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Africa is a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping children and youth at risk realise their potential by facilitating the development of long-term one-to-one mentoring relationships.

A child is matched with an adult mentor, someone who is both a positive role model and a friend. We match the specific strengths, interests and abilities of a volunteer to the identified needs of the child. The child is known as the Little and the adult mentor, the Big.
All over the world there are vulnerable children who may not be able to reach their full potential. These are children and youth who lack inspiration, guidance and experience to move beyond their daily survival and experience positive youth development. By volunteering a minimum of one hour of your time each week for at least one year as a mentor, you could profoundly change the course of a child's life.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring initiative represents an attempt to restore vision and inspiration to youth who are in desperate need of guidance and support. By simply giving children the opportunity to feel valued, by listening to them, it is possible to open up a world decidedly brighter than before.

Meetings are held the first Monday of every month from 18H30-20H30 at 171 Bulwer Rd.

Kayak 4 AIDS

Kayak 4 Aids (founded by Werner Stoltz) has pledged to do something real in the fight against AIDS.

With the help of God and his sponsors, Werner will be the first person to attempt one of the most adventurous and dangerous expeditions. To raise awareness and money for HIV and AIDS, he will paddle solo in a sea kayak from London to Durban - over 16 000 km! Not only is he the first to attempt such a daring feat, but this will also be the longest kayak journey in history.

We urge everyone to be a part of this ground-breaking journey.

His dream is to raise R 2 000 000 to open an AIDS shelter named "the Nineveh Project" in South Africa. His expedition will take him from the United Kingdom to France, West Spain, Portugal, South Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique, to arrive in Durban - South Africa.

You can help Werner and Kayak 4 Aids, by making an online donation, buying a pixel of his website for your company, or joining his kayak club, you will be making a real difference in the lives of many homeless children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS.

If you are able to offer some sort of support, be it financial support, donations to the shelter, help in fundraising for the Nineveh project, or simply a prayer or note of good luck, please contact Werner through his website: www.k4a.co.za.
